technosaurus; Wondering what your jwm_menu_create is written in.?
And what method of reading & parsing the desktop files is used.?
Speed isn`t so important as the .jwmrc file is only read once to refresh, but it`s interesting.

Its written in shell. I wrote it to be fast enough to generate menus on the fly. It is possible to use a jwm menu as an application ... a package manager was one example another was a drive mount utility. The package manager is instantaneous unlike PPM.
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

Yep, like my thought for 4 screen shot menu items.
Times with a popup timer, windowed, mouse click boxed, and multi monitor.
